What phone did you get? I ordered the Space Grey (64) not sure how hard wearing the stainless steel band is going to be as it's coated?
64gb in space grey as well and ditto not sure how hard wearing it is and also got a full coverage screen protector as well.

I was there 20 minutes early last year and they wouldn’t let me join the queue until it was the start of my time slot.
That's good value for tempered glass, however I always end up with bubbles which I can't live with! Might go down the Belkin route and have Apple fit it.

I just hope the entire screen sticks down and not just the edges but if it's no good will just get a refund from amazon and will try another one.
Can't speak for the iPhone X one, but i have used the Anker ones for my daughter and wife's phones for years (Man, the amount of times they drop their phones!)
They always go on really well, no bubbles if you follow the instructions. They are good value and when they have cracked them .... Anker have always replaced them with a photo and proof of purchase.
I just bought the iPhone X version and it comes with a frame for fitting, looks even easier to apply.
although I must admit I prefer no protector, but then I am not a accident prone as my family!
I read that they will arrive with 11.0.1 installed so likely it will insist on updating before restoring a backup. 11.1 seems to have worked quickly and simply for me and hopefully they have worked some magic in relation to battery drain ;-)
My tozo arrived and can’t get over how small this thing is coming from a 7 plus

I’m usually in the ‘no screen protector’ camp but my 7+ has some light scratching which is noticeable at some angles. I wouldn’t even say I’m careless with the thing.
Reservations I have with the protectors is that
A) it detracts from the OLED
B) the screen protector catches on the bottom lip with the gesture to go back to the home screen.
I think I will try it, would be pretty miffed scratching the screen of an £1150 phone.
Then I guess if it gets in such a state, I can ensure it’s properly ‘broken’ to get it fixed under AppleCare

Yes, this is what I got:-

Again, can't speak for the process of this one, but the ones I used on iPhone 5 and 6S were great.... they broke, but hey they were less than a tenner and Anker replaced them when they broke and they always protected the phone screen.

How’s everyone’s leather cases looking?
My black leather one arrived today and while the edges are fine, the back has 2 parallel lines down the back, like it’s been marked by some conveyor belt or something.
I’m thinking of swapping it out - for £49 I expect it to be perfect.

You'll be fine, might need to update the X before restoring the backup though!

I say change it if you’re not happy
I received my iPhone X leather case in black today and it doesn't have any lines like that on it. I agree, swap it for another one.How’s everyone’s leather cases looking?

I understand your frustration. Try a little leather cleaner on it or a slightly damp cloth. May take the marks out. In all honesty, it’ll look a lot my “weathered” than that in a couple of weeks
I got my Midnight Blue one today and I like it - there's a small mark on it but honestly nothing that bothers me, I know with leather it's going to change over time.
Few pics attached. One of the case, one alongside my 7 Plus and another alongside the case I'm using for that (Spigen Ultra Hybrid)
